Almaz is an Ethiopian given name of Amharic origin, meaning 'diamond'. It gained international recognition due to Ethiopia's former First Lady, Almaz Zenawi.
"Almaz is a unique and distinctive name, with only five babies born with this name in the United States each year since its first appearance in the Social Security Administration's baby name records in 1999. This low frequency reflects its rare usage among parents choosing names for their newborns, making it an uncommon yet captivating option."
